Description PihTa 2004-03-01 19:04:45 UTC 
rhythmbox --print-playing
returns only track name, but no artist, year and so on

it will be great if i can specify output format (for using if different 
scripts.. for ex. in Xchat to display "np:" :)

for ex.

rhythmbox --print-playing="%a %t"

thanks :)

You can do this in the latest CVS easily enough with the Python D-BUS bindings
or with Bonobo; see for example remote/dbus/rb-print-playing.py.

You can do whatever you want with the strings there too.
